Same derivation path diffrent adrreses #171

Closed avialias closed 6 years ago

avialias commented 6 years ago

So I Input 24 word seed from Ledger Nano S. I chose ETH. All other default values in form. I choose BIP39 tab and used custom dev path m/44'/60'/0' (MyEtherWallet dev path) and I get my first public address same as in MyEtherWallet. THats all good.

But when I Use 2nd tab BIP44, all other values same as before, I dont get same address as in MyEtherWallet. Why is that? derivation path is the same in both tabs BIP39, and BIP44. And Ledger says that they generate key from m/44'/60' path.

Please ELI5 me..anyone...

PS: I can supply seed , and pictures....its test ledger seed and wallet...

Ledger does not follow BIP44 for ethereum

See https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/84#issuecomment-292324521

Use the BIP32 tab with path m/44'/60'/0'

Do not use the BIP44 tab.
